We are glad to release Apache APISIX 3.8.1 with a bug fix to improve user experiences.
Bug Fix
Fix forward-auth plugin timeout
Fix forward-auth plugin timeouts when the client request uses POST and auth service API expects GET. The error was caused by APISIX forwarding the POST request with headers like Content-Type and Expect to the auth service API expecting GET.
With the latest fix, APISIX only adds POST request headers if the plugin's request_method configuration is set to POST.
For more information, see PR #11021.
